{"product_id":"the-rock-that-is-not-a-rabbit-poems-9780822967156","title":"The Rock That Is Not a Rabbit: Poems","description":"Change arises as something both desired and mourned in poems that reckon with a world where perspectives blur, names drift \"billowing, unattached,\" and language yields a broken music. A statue of Lenin topples in a Georgian square only to be raised again in a Dallas backyard. Antlers sprout from Actaeon's head, rendering him unrecognizable to the dogs he loves. Ungainly piano notes pour from a window and wake unexpected wonder in a lost walker. A forest grows inside a box that once held a father's new pair of shoes. \u003ci\u003eSkylab\u003c\/i\u003e slips from its watchful orbit and careens toward Earth. A familiar chair once owned by a now absent family appears in a field of wild parsnips. Meditative and richly imaginative, these poems cast and recast the self and its relation to other selves, and to memory, history, power, and the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorey Marks \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of\u003ci\u003e Renunciation\u003c\/i\u003e, a National Poetry Series selection, and\u003ci\u003e The Radio Tree\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Green Rose Prize.
